Yoga near Maumee

“This studio is amazing. The way Diana explains things is so easy for anyone trying to learn. Also if you are new to a group class she will also try and give extra explanation for any new stretches. I love the small class size. It makes things much more comfortable and you still get some one on one attention if you aren't posing quite right. Diana takes her time in each class to explain the why's and how's of every pose every movement and why it is so important to always maintain proper form. She is the most knowledgeable instructor I have ever had in that she just doesn't instruct a class - she teaches classes from her extensive knowledge of how the body works. She has adjusted my body more than once and has given me a set of exercises to do at home. My own Chiropractor endorses her. Honestly I would personally seek Diana's assistance in diagnosing something that is causing me pain - I love to hear her opinion. I have been a client at Essence for over 4 years - Diana and her staff have never been anything but kind to me. Since starting at Essence I eat healthier and have lost weight. I feel great and have made some friends along the way. During COVID she was one of the first studios to offer "zoom" classes and she did it from her heart only charging $5 or donation for classes. As for cleanliness - I am not sure where or when the pictures were taken in the previous comment - is it even at Essence please provide proof. The Essence I attend is extremely clean and tidy. From my experience signing up for class online is easy - then I go to the studio and I have never I mean never had an issue of the door being locked when I get there at the start of class. Also if you can't reach the studio just a hint - there is always someone answering the phones on Monday morning. And whenever I I can't reach someone I have left a message and they call me back within 24 hours at the most. From my experience Essence studio has had to do a lot of adjusting because of COVID. But haven't we all..... haven't most businesses - especially small businesses - it has been a time of adjustment for all of us. Above all Essence has helped me to achieve a sense of gratitude and patience.“

“The Yin/Sound Bath class was amazing. That was the first time that I have done both Yin and Sound Bath and thoroughly enjoyed it. I also noticed a remarkable difference in the way that I felt the next day - much more clear headed and focused. I'm plan to attend more classes!“

“Let me start by giving some background information. I LOVE YOGA! I've been doing yoga well over a decade and only wish I had found it earlier in my life. I earned by 200 hours teacher certification about 3 years ago from a wonderful local studio. I lived at that studio for a year, going to class 5 days a week. Then COVID. The studio went virtual and 3 things happened - I got used to the convenience of doing yoga at home, I redecorated and made my own home studio, and the local studio stopped offering the classes I loved while discontinuing their virtual classes. On top of this, I had shoulder surgery in Dec. 2020 and then spent all of 2022 struggling with issues resulting from the surgery. So yoga has been difficult to find and only available to me part of the year. Once yoga studios opened as pandemic restrictions eased, I began my search for studios that offered virtual classes at times I wanted them that didn't cost to much. I tried SO MANY one month trial memberships. I found a few that were OK, but the pricing was high, the style of yoga not my favorite, or the class times were inconvenient or too infrequent. I had been looking in Central Ohio - and then looked in Cleveland - and finally started on Toledo. ENTER TOLEDO YOGA!Toledo Yoga was the first studio in the NW Ohio area I had tried. Their calendar looked very promising, offering SO MANY CLASSES throughout the day. Bonus - power yoga was offered during the week at 5:30 - the perfect time for me! I work from home and log into work from 7 AM - 5 PM or so. I want my yoga class to start before 6:30 and 5:30 is ideal. The Friday class is 4:30, but that works out fine. By then, my brain is fried on work and I'm ready to have some fun - and Conni's classes are always great. The one thing I don't absolutely love is the yoga is based on Baptiste yoga. I was trained in Vinyasa style with a focus on Ashtanga (which I really dislike), so at least Baptiste is accessible to me whereas there was so much in Ashtanga I could not do (or do well). HOWEVER, the flows always vary and each instructor puts their own twist on the format and always comes up with something fresh and interesting.On Saturday morning, I started my day with getting my butt kicked by Gi and her sculpt class. And this week I also enjoyed the 9 AM power class and have also taken the 11 AM. Sunday I have fallen in love with the flow class with Nada. Her amazing cues and long held poses is often akin to a yin class.Finally - Toledo Yoga uses Zoom. I've tried other studios that use other platforms - the worst being the Mindybody livestream. I would have joined a prior studio I tried by I hated the Mindbody experience. It didn't work on most of my devices and the instructors didn't know how to use it. Just painful classes with messed up visuals. AND the frosting on the cake - the virtual membership is SO AFFORDABLE! Added bonus - there is a huge online library of on-demand classes you have access to. The ONE time the studio's Zoom stream failed, I quickly pivoted and did a recorded class online instead.If I haven't convinced you this is an awesome value and so worth a try - I'm not sure this is the studio for you! I would have settled for so much less - but I did have to. Thank Toledo Yoga and all your wonderful instructors!!“

“Club Pilates Perrysburg Ohio has transformed my sedentary body into a strong and balanced body. But it is more than a place to become fit. It’s a community of great people working together. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly. The general manager, Christina, regularly hosts organizations to enhance the community. There are challenges, competitions, wine nights, and lots of give-aways. With an eye for fashion, the GM also has a terrific retail section of Club Pilates clothing. I drive 35 minutes several times a week and it’s worth it! Plus, Costco and Starbucks are right across the street!“

“The staff always welcomes you with a smile. They are knowledgeable, friendly and nonjudgmental. It’s always a great experience.“

“Very comfortable environment. The instructor is wonderful and I'd recommend this place to anyone who enjoys yoga or wants to begin yoga.“

“This is by far my favorite place in Toledo to work out at. The instructors, music, and infrared lights are all second to none.“

“I love this gym but would love it even more if we could get the Kids Klub up and running!! It’s such a huge market in the area that they are missing out on.“

“You will not regret choosing to be a member of Crunch!
